Kenneth Hagen of Augusta was standing in neck-deep water before disappearing Saturday in front of his sister's house. Family members pulled him to shore 15 minute later, but emergency responders were unable to revive him. It's unclear what caused the man to go below the water's surface.

Gov. Paul LePage and other officials in Maine are opposing proposed changes to federal labor rules on the grounds that employment and small businesses will be negatively affected. The U.S. Department of Labor is taking public comments on proposed changes to the federal Fair Labor Standards Act until Friday. The proposal would more than double the minimum salary needed for most salaried workers to be classified as exempt from federal overtime regulations. Nearly 5 million more Americans would qualify for overtime under the change. State Labor Commissioner also opposes the rule change. She says employers will revise workers' job duties to avoid paying the increases. (AP)

The LePage administration is proposing new psychiatric facilities to help Riverview Psychiatric Center regain the federal certification it lost in 2013, and the $20 million a year in funds that came with it. DHHS Deputy Commissioner of Programs said the department made two suggestions to lawmakers last session.  The first is to create a new 50-bed behavioral assessment and safety evaluation, or BASE, unit, where patients, especially violent or difficult individuals, would be evaluated.  The second part was to add two seven-bed secure units for NCR patients who no longer require hospital-level care, but haven't been granted community privileges yet by the court. It would free up beds at Riverview.  Last session committee took no action.  (WGME)

Pot smoking has become more of habit for U.S. college students than cigarette smoking is. That's what researchers at the University of Michigan are saying.

By contrast, 5 percent of those surveyed indicated they had smoked cigarettes that often. (AP)
